Expert consensus recommendations for radiomic models in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
Primary hepatocellular carcinoma is a common malignant tumor at home and abroad.In 2020,it became the seventh most malignant tumor to threaten human health on a global scale,with a high mortality rate that ranked fourth among cancers.Therefore,a precise diagnosis is crucial for the prognosis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma.Radiomics,an emerging non-invasive data analysis method,extracts a large number of high-throughput features from imaging images,thereby providing a more accurate basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment decision-making.Currently,there are many radiomic models for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma,but there is a lack of consensus.This consensus formulates ultimate radiomics model recommendations based on the latest research evidence,an evidence-based medicine combination grading system,comprehensive consideration of clinical practice,and the experience of physician specialists so as to provide clinicians with a methodological basis for clarifying the diagnosis,developing the best decision-making scheme,and guiding clinically comprehensive treatment.
